While the measurement of total cholesterol (TC) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are recommended in current cardiovascular screening algorithins, recent guidelines have emphasized the importance of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-hdl-c) as a predictor of cardiovascular risk, while others have strongly advocated the use of specific lipid ratios of TC to HDL cholesterol. This study examined clinical utility of atherogenic dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, non-hdl cholesterol and the lipid ratios (TC to HDL cholesterol, LDL to HDL cholesterol, TG to HDL cholesterol, non-hdl to HDL cholesterol) as an individual marker of cardiovascular events. Characterisation of the study subjects was given. The analyses of the biochemical parameters were done using Reflotron System. The TC, HDL and TG (total glyceride) were measured directly. LDL-C was estimated using the Friedewald formula: [TC] [total HDL-C] -20 % of the TG = estimated LDL-C based on the fact that TC is the sum of HDL, LDL and VLDL. The VLDL was estimated as one-fifth of TG. This formula was used to estimate LDL-C and VLDL-C in the samples. For the purpose of therapeutic decisionmaking, the followings were calculated: LDL-C/HDL-C, non-hdl-c/hdl-c, TG/HDL-C and TC/HDL- C ratios for the subjects. The results of the blood analyses revealed the total cholesterol (TC), total glyceride (TG) and the amounts of cholesterol in the various lipoproteins-high density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C), non-hdl-c, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C). 25 subjects were involved in the study. All TG levels < 200 mg/dl; all TC levels > 200 mg/dl; for HDL-C, 4 subjects (16 %) had values 35mg/dl; in LDL-C, all values > 130 mg/dl. For therapeutic decision making, non- HDL-C/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL- C/HDL-C were calculated. In TC/HDL-C, only one subject (4 %) had value of 3.4 and in LDL- C/HDL-C, 22 subjects (88 %) had values < 5.0. Hence, non-hdl,tc, HDL-C, LDL-C, TC/HDL-C and to a lesser extent LDL-C/HDL-C could contribute to increased atherosclerotic heart disease such as hypercholesterolemia and/or low HDL cholesterolemia in the subjects. All the results were matched for age and sex. This report showed that significantly different results existed in TC and HDL-C (group II); VLDL-C and TG (group III) and LDL-C/HDL-C (group III); TG/HDL-C (group IV). All TG levels were < 200 mg/dl, all TC levels > 200 mg/dl; all levels in LDL-C were > 130 mg/dl and in LDL- C/HDL-C 88 % subjects had values < 5.0. Hence, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TC/HDL-C and to lesser extend LDL-C/HDL-C could contribute to increased risk of atherosclerotic heart disease and familial hyperlipoproteinemia. B - 1
2 KEYWORDS Male serum, lipid profile, therapeutic decision making, Nigeria. INTRODUCTION Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals. Since cholesterol is essential for life, it is primarily synthesized de novo within the body. However excessive levels of cholesterol in blood circulation are strongly associated with progression of atherosclerosis. For an adult, typical total body cholesterol synthesis is about 1 gram per day (less if dietary intake is high) and total body cholesterol content is about 35 g. Average dietary intake in western societies is g. Cholesterol is excreted by the liver via the bile into the digestive tract. Typically about 50 % of the excreted cholesterol is reabsorbed by the small intestine back into the blood stream 1. Since cholesterol is insoluble in blood, it is transported in the circulatory system within lipoproteins, complex spherical particles which have an exterior composed of amphiphilic (a molecule that has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts) proteins and lipids whose outward-facing surfaces are water-soluble and inward-facing surfaces are lipid-soluble, triglycerides and cholesterol esters are carried normally. Phospholipids and cholesterol, being amphiphathic, are transported in the surface monolayer of the lipoprotein particle. In addition to providing a soluble means for transporting cholesterol through the blood, lipoproteins have cell-targeting signals which direct the lipids they carry to certain tissues. For this reason, there are many types of lipoproteins within the blood, generally called in order of increasing density: chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and high density lipoprotein (HDL). However, the different lipoproteins contain apolipoproteins which serve as ligands for specific receptors on cell membranes. In this way, the lipoprotein particles are molecular addresses that determine the start and endpoints for cholesterol transport 2. While the measurement of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are recommended in most current cardiovascular screening algorithins 3, recent guidelines have emphasized the importance of non- high density lipoprotein (non-hdl) cholesterol as a predictor of cardiovascular risk 4, while others have strongly advocated the use of specific lipid ratios such as TC to HDL cholesterol, LDL to HDL cholesterol 5, 6, 7. The aim of the present study is to focus the clinical utility of atherogenic dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, non-hdl cholesterol and the lipid ratios (TC to HDL cholesterol, LDL to HDL cholesterol, TG to HDL cholesterol, non-hdl to HDL cholesterol) as an individual marker of cardiovascular events. Also reported were the age ranges in groups of the subjects (males). This type of work will assist in knowing the level of susceptibility of those subjects to cardiovascular diseases and other blood related diseases and how to minimize or eliminate them. The total number of subjects included in this study was 25, all registered for a medical test at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Warri, Delta State, Nigeria between April and May, At the time of the test, all subjects responded to a standardized questionnaire covering many personal details (such as smoking habit, alcohol intake, physical activity, food habit, etc.) organized by trained interviewers. Only male subjects were reported with age range of years. B - 2
3 MATERIALS AND METHODS Characterisation of the study subjects: According to NCEP ATP III standard guidelines 4, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were defined as TC and TG levels of > 200 mg/dl and >150 mg/dl, respectively. Low-HDL cholesterolemia was defined as HDL cholesterol level of <40 mg/dl. LDL hypercholesterolemia was defined as >100 mg/dl. Atherogenic dyslipidemia was defined as having hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and /or low HDL cholesterolemia. According to the NCEP criteria, an individual may be diagnosed to have metabolic syndrome if he or she has three or more of the following: obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low-hdl cholesterolemia, hypertension and diabetes. Biochemical parameters and analyses: Reflotron System was used for these analyses. Reflotron plus is a compact reflectance photometer for fully automatic evaluation of Reflotron Tests. The instrument takes charge of all functions such as heating, automatic calibration, test execution and evaluation and calculation of results. Reflotron Tests have reagent strips for specific testing of important clinical-chemistry parameters directly from whole blood, plasma or serum. The direct use of whole blood is made possible through an integrated plasma separation pad. Reflotron plus is a product of Bio-Stat Diagnostic Systems, Pepper Road, Hazel Grove, Strockport, Cheshire SK7 5BW. The instrument has information on test principle and wavelength for each test and measuring ranges. Fasting blood samples were used and obtained by venipuncture. Most testing methods do not actually measure LDL in blood. For cost reasons, LDL values have long been estimated using the Friedewald formula (or a variant) 1 : [total cholesterol]-[total HDL] - 20 % of the triglyceride value = estimated LDL-C. Or: LDL-C = [total cholesterol (HDL-C + Triglyceride/5)] 8. This formula cannot be used, however, if blood triglycerides are > 400 mg/dl 8. The basis of this formula is that TC is defined as the sum of HDL, LDL and VLDL. Ordinarily just the TC, HDL and TG are actually measured. The VLDL is estimated as one fifth of the triglycerides. This formula was used to estimate LDL-C and VLDL-C in the samples. The term LDL-C (and HDL-C, VLDL-C) is used when expressing the blood concentration since it is the cholesterol content of these lipoproteins that is actually measured. The reference standard for expressing blood lipid concentrations also generally refers to the serum concentration. This is what remains after blood clots, and is then centrifuged to remove all red and white blood cells and clotting factors. Although blood cholesterol is a common term, the value actually refers to the concentration in the serum portion of the blood 8. Hence, these determinations were actually in the serum. Non HDL cholesterol was measured as TC-HDL cholesterol. Statistical analyses: For the purpose of therapeutic decision-making, the followings were calculated: LDL-C/HDL-C, non-hdl- C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratios for the subjects. Also calculated were the variance ratio 5 percent points for distribution of F within subjects of the same age group and the same parameter of non-hdl-c/hdl-c, TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C and VLDL-C to find if differences were significant 9. Also calculated were the grand mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation in percent. Ethics:The Ethics Committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Hospital approved the study. This was one of the reasons the subjects had to complete the questionnaire. B - 3

All the results were matched for age and sex. The TC, HDL-C, non- HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C and TG levels in the age years showed the CV % of TC (1.64), HDL-C (11.0), non-hdl-c (4.28), LDL-C (4.73), VLDL-C (0.31) and TG (0.31) to be low or the values were very close (Table 1). No TC was lower than 200 mg/dl; the two subjects (Table 1) were in the borderline high (in the risk group) of mg/dl. The present TC values were higher than the value reported (178 ±43.0 mg/dl) by Sowunmi et al. 10 but within the range ( mg/dl) reported by Edozien Akinkugbe reported 122 mg/dl for hypertensive and 131 mg/dl for nonhypertensive male subject of 19 years old. The HDL-C showed that one subject (50 %) had the parameters for age group years with only one member (81 years old). Tables 12 (a) and 12(b) show the summary of non-hdl-c, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C and TG range variation in age groups 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, and whilst Table 12(c) shows their corresponding TG/HDL- C, non-hdl-c/hdl-c, TC/HDL-C and LDL- C/HDL-C. The results of the F-test distribution calculations are used for discussion in the relevant Tables; critical value was set at α = HDL-C level of 35 mg/dl which is an indication of risk. The level of 35 mg/dl set for women had been said to be too low for them 13. According to NCEP ATP III standard 4, anybody with HDL-C< 40 mg/dl will likely suffer from atherogenic dyslipidemia. The HDL-C levels in the present report were lower than the average level (54.0±9.4 mg/dl) reported by Sowunmi et al. 10. The LDL-C in our subjects was not desirable in any subject because no value was < 130 mg/dl; in the borderline high of mg/dl we had one subject whilst the other subject was in high risk of 160 mg/dl LDL-C level. The blood cholesterol linked to atherosclerosis risk is LDL- C; 46 % of its molecule is made up of cholesterol, etc. 14. HDL also carries cholesterol, but raised HDL represent cholesterol returning from the arteries to the liver and thus indicates a reduced risk of atherosclerosis and heart attack. HDL includes 20 % of cholesterol in its molecule 14. It has been confirmed that high blood B - 10
11 cholesterol carried in LDL correlates directly with heart disease, whereas high blood cholesterol in HDL correlates inversely with risk 15. Our TG levels were all within the desirable level of < 200 mg/dl ( ; 90.2±0.28 mg/dl); our mean value was close to Sowunmi et al. 10 with a mean value of 89 mg/dl. High TG alone normally does not indicate direct risk, but may reflect lipoprotein abnormalities associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). The risk of CHD increases as triglyceride levels increase (as VLDL-C also increases) in people with other risk factors. High TG also occurs in conditions such as kidney disease and diabetes, which suggest a high risk 15. The VLDL has good relationship with the TG, hence their similarities in the CV % (0.31 in each case). VLDL has 8% cholesterol 14. Non-HDL cholesterol is known to be a likely superior predictor of sub clinical atherosclerosis 16. The TC/HDL-C in Table 2 was greater than 3.4 (indicating risk for men) in the two subjects. This ratio has been found to be highly predictive of heart disease risk, more so than total blood cholesterol alone 17. Also the LDL-C/HDL-C range of was above the American standard value of 3.4 in the two subjects. Individuals with a LDL-C/HDL-C of 1.0 or TC/HDL-C of 3.4 are said to have about one half the heart disease risk of the average American 18. The values of LDL-C/HDL-C were higher than 2.02±0.8 as reported by Sowunmi et al. 10. TG/HDL-C values were lower than the TC/HDL-C values. High TG/HDL-C ratio is known to be as strong a lipid predictor of CHD as the widely used TC/HDL-C ratio 16. Table 3 contains the serum lipids in the ages years range. The TC of this age range appeared to be generally higher in most cases than in the years age range although we had a minimum value of 210 mg/dl lower than in years range (213 mg/dl) and a maximum value of 247 mg/dl higher than the highest level of 218 mg/dl in the years age range. No subject had a desirable level of < 200 mg/dl among the subjects; seven subjects (87.5 %) population were in borderline high of mg/dl and only one subject (12.5 %) was in the high risk of 240 mg/dl TC. Akinkugbe 12 reported TC values of mg/dl for hypertensive subjects and mg/dl for non hypertensive subjects respectively with respective age range of years male subjects. In the USA, the normal serum cholesterol in male subject of years was 162.2±2.5 mg/dl 19 ; this value was much lower than all the present results (Table 3). Our TC values in Table 3 were close with a low level of CV % of In the HDL-C levels in Table 3, one subject would be at risk with HDL-C levels 35 mg/dl; this is about 12.5 % of the population of subjects. For male subjects of age range years in the USA, the normal HDL-C level was 45.4±1.0 mg/dl. In our subjects, seven or 87.5 % of the population had HDL-C level above the critical level of 35 mg/dl. However, based on the NCEP ATP III 4, four (50 %) subjects had HDL-C < 40 mg/dl. The values of HDL-C were more scattered than the values of TC as shown by their CV % (Table 3). However, both TC and HDL-C had F- calculated > F- table at α = 0.05 showing them to be significantly different within their columns. LDL- C levels in Table 3 showed that no subject value was within the desirable level of < 130 mg/dl 20 ; but even greater than 100 mg/dl 4 ; as at 1980 the range was between mg/dl with a mean of ±8.04 mg/dl although with a low level of CV % (4.97). The male normal LDL-C level of years in the USA was ± 2.4 mg/dl 19 which was much lower than our present report. In general, the higher the cholesterol (or, more specifically, the higher the LDL-C) the greater the risk of CHD. Research suggests that men with high cholesterol levels when they are young (mean age of 22 years) have a high risk of developing heart disease later in life 15. Almost half of all deaths from CHD occur among men with blood cholesterol in the borderline high range B - 11
12 [CCCC 1988]. In the age range of years, the normal VLDL-C level is 13.7 ±0.8 mg/dl in the USA 19 ; no subject was within this category; our subjects in years age group had VLDL-C levels of mg/dl. The TG in Table 3 was all within the desirable level of < 200 mg/dl 20 or even < 150 mg/dl 4 as also found in Table 1. The non-hdl-c values were also high with values of mg/dl which is an aggregate measure that included the concentration of all lipoproteins currently believed to contribute to atherosclerosis. The TC to HDL-C had values of (Table 4). All the values (except one, 12.5 %) were higher than the standard non risk value of 3.4 indicating the risk of CHD. In the case of LDL-C/HDL-C, seven (87.5 %) of the population had LDL-C/HDL-C less than the risk value of whereas one subject would be highly susceptible to CHD. Both the non-hdl-c/hdl- C and TG/HDL-C appeared to be generally lower than in the years age bracket. Table 5 shows the lipid profile results for age group years. The TC here had similar pattern of concentration as observed in the TC of Table 3 (21-30 years age group). The CV % was however lower than in Table 3 TC CV %. Akinkugbe 12 reported TC value of mg/dl (hypertensive) and mg/dl (non hypertensive) in years old male subjects. These values were mostly lower than the present report. All our results were all outside the desirable level of < 200 mg/dl and one was still outside the borderline level of mg/dl 20 making the subjects susceptible to CHD. The HDL-C levels of mg/dl had one value of 35 mg/dl whereas four subjects or 80 % were outside the risk level. The LDL-C levels were all higher than the desirable level of < 130 mg/dl 20, whereas two results were on the borderline high of mg/dl and three in high risk level of 160 mg/dl 2. The VLDL-C in Table 5 was mg/dl and average of ±1.23 mg/dl which was close to the mean value of ±1.42 as observed for age group years. The TG in Table 5 like the previous results was all lower than 200 mg/dl which meant they were all within the desirable level. The F-test results for VLDL-C and TG showed that F-calculated > F-table at α = 0.05, hence, results were significantly different in the column. The non-hdl-c showed high values as in the previous Tables. The TC/HDL-C in Table 6 had all its values greater than 3.4 which meant that the subjects would be susceptible to CHD whereas subject with LDL-C/HDL-C value of 8.15 would have the problem of CHD but the others had LDL-C/HDL-C level less than 5.0. LDL-C/HDL-C showed significantly different relationship in Table 6. Non-HDL-C/HDL-C values showed significant differences among themselves. On a one-to-one comparison, every value of non-hdl-c/hdl-c was greater than its corresponding age value in LDL-C/HDL-C showing a very likely risk of CHD for all the members of the age group. In Table 7 (41-50 years) was depicted the lipid profile of age group subjects. It was observed that the TC, non-hdl-c and LDL-C values were on the high side compared with earlier results in Tables 1, 3 and 5 but the corresponding VLDL-C values were lower than in the Tables 1, 3 and 5. The TG followed the earlier patterns. The TC levels in Table 7 could lead to CHD, five (83.3%) subjects had HDL-C values higher than 35 mg/dl which suggested non-risk of CHD, however only three (50 %) subjects had HDL-C> 40 mg/dl; LDL-C range from mg/dl with the range of risk of borderline high ( mg/dl) and high risk of CHD with a value of 160 mg/dl. All the TG values were less than 200 mg/dl which is the desirable level. The normal average TC in an American man of age years had been reported as 205.2±1.9 mg/dl which was lower than our present report. The normal HDL-C in the American man of age group years had been put at 44.3±0.6 19, three results (50 %) HDL-C (Table 7) was better than the reference report. The LDL-C in the American B - 12
13 man of age group years was 135.6±1.6 mg/dl which was lower than all our LDL-C levels. The VLDL-C in an American man (40-44 years age group) was 25.5±1.2 mg/dl which was higher than our results of mg/dl. Most studies examining heart disease involve only men 15. The significance of findings on LDL-C and HDL-C to women is less clear. Women younger than 45 years tend to have lower concentrations of LDL-C than men of the same age. This hypothesis appears reasonable because the 26 subjects (male and female) of age group years compared showed that 16/26 (61.5 %) had LDL-C levels in women lower than men in the corresponding age levels (unpublished report). Women s blood cholesterols begin to exceed those of men between the age 45 and After age 55, the disparity in LDL-C becomes even greater. The TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C for the age group years are shown in Table 8. No TC/HDL- C levels were less than All the six subjects but one had LDL-C/HDL-C levels 5.0 which is the risk level 20. The TG/HDL-C statistical result showed that significant differences existed in the values within the column. The non-hdl-c, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C and TG levels of ages years are shown in Table 9. The HDL-C, VLDL-C and TG levels were mostly within the expected non risk levels whereas both TC and LDL-C were all above the risk levels. In the American man of age group years: normal TC (213.2±1.9 mg/dl), normal HDL-C (44.1±0.6 mg/dl), normal VLDL-C (26.8±1.1 mg/dl) and LDL-C (142.3±1.7 mg/dl) 19, these literature values were very close to the present report in this age group. It was reported that in women, at menopause, LDL-C tend to rise and HDL-C decline 22. In Table 10, TC/HDL-C levels were all above 3.4 while all the values of LDL-C/HDL-C were all less than 5.0 (the risk level). From the study of Glew et al. 23 on the lipid profiles and trans fatty acids in serum phospholipids of semi-normadic Fulani in northern Nigeria, it was observed as follows. The concentration of TC was higher in women than in men (156 vs122 mg/dl, p<0.001). The same was true of the LDL-C concentration: women 95 mg/dl; men 73 mg/dl (p = 0.005). Conversely, the female subjects had a higher serum HDL-C concentration (41 vs 32 mg/dl, p = 0.007). The serum TG was slightly higher in women than in men (100 vs 91 mg/dl, difference not significant). Compared with our results for the males: both TC and LDL-C were generally higher in the present report whereas both TG and HDL-C were much better in the present report. CONCLUSIONS Tables 12(a), 12(b) and 12(c) gave summaries of the range values with the range differences in brackets. Only ages 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, and had enough information for range calculation exercise. In summary, this report showed that significantly different results existed in TC and HDL-C (Group II, years); VLDL-C and TG (Group III, years) and LDL-C/HDL-C (Group III, years); TG/HDL-C (Group IV, years). All TG levels were in desirable level of < 200 mg/dl or < 150 mg/dl; all TC levels were > 200 mg/dl; for HDL-C, four subjects (16 %) had HDL-C 35 mg/dl spread among the ages (years) (1), (1), (1), (1); in LDL-C, all levels were > 130 mg/dl; only one subject (4 %) TC/HDL-C had a risk free value of 3.4 in the age range of years (1) and in LDL-C/HDL-C, 22 subjects (88 % cutting across the age group) had values < 5.0. Hence, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TC/HDL-C and to a lesser extend LDL-C/HDL-C could contribute to increased risk of atherosclerotic heart disease and familial hyperlipoproteinemia. B - 13
